Shapes Around Us (3D Shapes)

These are shapes that have length

These are shapes that have length, width, and height. Unlike flat shapes, we can hold them in our hands. Examples include balls (sphere), dice (cube),

The flat surfaces of a 3D

The flat surfaces of a 3D shape are called faces. A cube has 6 faces, all square-shaped. A cylinder has 2 circular faces and 1 curved surface.

The lines where two faces meet

The lines where two faces meet are called edges. A cube has 12 edges. A sphere has no edges because it is completely round.

The points where edges meet

The points where edges meet are called corners or vertices. A cube has 8 corners. A sphere has no corners, while a cone has 1 corner at its tip.

Cube (like dice)

Cube (like dice), Cuboid (like chalk box), Cone (like ice cream cone), Cylinder (like pencil), Sphere (like ball) - each with unique properties.
